Visitor Reviews of Hochjoch-Schruns
sue kellaway from United Kingdom writes:
I am reluctant to write this as so few English people visit Schruns - and don't know what they are missing. Staying in Schruns gives access to not only the Hochjoch ski area, but also Golm, Sankt Gallenkirch and Gargellen - probably more than the 3 valleys in France, but is easy to reach - the first valley (Montafon) in Austria, its high so you can ski till after Easter, and its so beautiful. 10 years ago, we heard the Austrian and Germans in the lift queue refer to the English family but now there are more than just us. And don't take notice of the report above - there is a lot of off piste and extreme skiing from Kreuzjoch - its been on Extreme Ski TV programmes and there are great guides to take you around. we have skied all over - 3 valleys, St Anton (which is an easy journey from here) Val D'Isere etc but nowhere matches the Montafon valley. Plus stay in one of the many lovely houses - our favourite is Haus Kasimir.
